Chapter 126: Quick Knife
"Bell, bell, bell—"
The sound of darts colliding with steel continued, fortunately, the knights were still fully armed, and the chain mail was well worn, and this overwhelming array of darts did not hurt except for a few very unlucky knights who did not protect their faces. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
But immediately, the faces of several knights who were shot in the face by darts changed at that time.
Being shot in the face by a dart is nothing, and breaking the face is nothing, as long as it is not shot in the eye and other vital points, it really can't kill anyone, but these knights have changed their faces, but it is because of ......
"Poison! Poison on the darts! ”
A knight screamed in horror, and before he could finish speaking, his face had begun to turn from red to blue, and from blue to purple, and his breathing began to become rapid and difficult.
See blood seal your throat! Seeing that this poison was so violent, the faces of the nobles such as Count Xiao Tang immediately changed, they were not afraid of the sword, as long as there was a knight's guard in front of them, the sword would not be able to cut them a little, but this poisonous dart, but I don't want to be blind! Who knows where a stray bullet will kill them?
"Quick, all the shields up! Defend! ”
In the blink of an eye, Count Xiao Tang came back to his senses, he had seen too many life and death on the battlefield, even in such a scene, although he was flustered, he still gave the most correct order in a hurry.
Those knights heard the voice of Count Xiao Tang, and they all suddenly realized that the knight's kite-shaped shield definitely didn't need to think about it, that thing was too big to bring in, but the small round shield tied to his arm was something that every knight had!
At that time, the knights raised their left hands and covered their faces with small round shields - all they needed to do was protect their faces, and the darts could not pierce their armor, and then they formed a formation in the narrow corridors of the castle, waiting for the Assassins to attack.
"Be careful, Lord Count...... I'm afraid these people are coming for you, so don't move behind me now. ”
On the other side, Wade's quasi-knight pulled Count Xiao Tang behind him, and tightly protected Count Xiao Tang with his body, preventing him from revealing a trace, and several other knights from Desmond were the same, Count Xiao Tang's east and west, north and south were sealed by human shields, and no one could bring Count Xiao Tang a trace of harm before stepping over the corpses of these knights!
The number of darts carried by the Assassins was always limited, and the number of Assassins was really not large, and it was only by surprise that they were caught off guard. Now that the knights have come to their senses, if the Assassins don't retreat, they will all die here today!
"For the glory of Lord Earl!"
Of course, seeing that nothing could be done, the leader of the Assassins, a guy who looked no different from other Assassins, suddenly shouted something like this, and this sentence was shouted in a correct and round tone, and everyone could hear it clearly.
"For the glory of Lord Earl!"
That's not all, the dozen or so assassins shouted the same way, even as if they were afraid that the person on the other side would not hear clearly, and they shouted three times in a row!
"Oops!"
Count Don Jr.'s mind turned, and it was like a lightning bolt in his mind, Prince Dialmat's unusual detour, the assassin who appeared inexplicably, and the sentence 'For the glory of Lord Earl', all the clues have been gathered, and there is only one truth!
"Don't just look at me! Go and protect Prince Diarmat! Don't let him get hurt in the slightest! Otherwise, it's bad! ”
In a hurry, Count Xiao Tang shouted directly, and the knights around him were stunned when they heard it, and even the most loyal Wade would-be knight did not move. Protecting you now, and only protecting you, Prince Djarmat? That's just a stranger, if it's good, it's the second generation of Quan, and if it's not good, it's not even the second generation of Quan, so why protect him?
But Count Don Jr. has figured it out, this is a bitter ploy, and it is the most ruthless kind - this doomed assassination, Prince Djarmat pulled out all the dead and consumed them - but Prince Djarmat didn't want to assassinate anyone, he wanted the assassination process!
Of course, it would be best if he could take advantage of the chaos to kill Count Don.
But even the stupidest people know that Count Xiao Tang must be closely guarded, and the assassination is absolutely lifeless, and it will not succeed. In this case, they are all consuming the lives of the dead, and instead of wasting them on meaningless assassinations, it is better to let them be consumed in more useful places.
Assassinate me!
At that time, Prince Diarmat secretly summoned all the dead soldiers, and then said such things that the dead soldiers thought he was crazy.
But Prince Diarmat then said, "I have heard that the sword will not cause any damage to the body when it goes in and out of the back, but it will bleed, and you will do it when the time comes, understand?"
"Yes, Your Highness the Prince, we are fully in compliance with your orders."
The leader of the dead men stood up and said this, and then he hesitated again and asked:
"But Your Royal Highness, we swear to be your hands, your eyes, your ears, your sword, and we swear to remove all obstacles for you, sparing our lives for this. But I've never heard of anyone letting their hands hurt themselves. ”
"You're afraid I'm not sane and crazy right now."
Prince Diarmatt shook his head, he was not a little Earl Tang, no matter what he did, as long as someone disagreed, he would explain it calmly. Prince Diarmat is the most traditional aristocracy, heaven and earth, self-exalted.
So, he angrily rebuked at the time: "You don't need to know the reason! This is my command, and I am your master, and you just have to obey! ”
Reason? Of course, I have a reason, this assassination is not about the result but about the process. As long as I am seriously wounded, and my father is gone, there will not be a single person in the whole of North Munster to talk to, and the date on which the Earl of Donchester wishes to be crowned Duke will have to be extended indefinitely......
No, no, no, this alone is not enough, even if there is no one in North Munster who has a voice, as long as the Earl of Donchester still has the support of the nobility of Southern Ireland, he can forcibly take the title of duke, and I still need an idea to separate him from the group of earls......
So, there is the phrase 'for the glory of the earl', for the glory of which earl? In the whole of Ireland, apart from the Earl of Don Jr., which other earl has such an ability to cultivate dead soldiers? Thinking about it this way, the other earls will naturally suspect that this was instigated by Count Xiao Tang, and they will not support Count Xiao Tang. And Prince Diarmat will need at least two months to recuperate from his injuries, two months, which is enough for him to make the rumors fly, and contact Duke Ed to convene an anti-Desmond alliance!
This is just a simple ploy, and it can even be said to be full of flaws, and anyone with an IQ on the upper line can see its flaws at a glance afterwards, but Prince Dialmat, who is betting on the nobles of Southern Ireland, is also unwilling to watch the Earl of Little Tang upgrade to the Duke of Little Tang!
Now that Count Xiao Tang is still just an earl, they are afraid to die, so when Count Xiao Tang is promoted to the Grand Duke, do they still have to hand over all the cars, houses, tickets, and girls in order to change peace?
You must know that even if Count Xiao Tang's reputation has always been very high, the nobles don't believe that Count Xiao Tang will do the thing of crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, but there is such a thing as life, how can it be more reassuring to hold it in your own hands when you hand it over to others!
In a flash of light, Count Tang had already figured everything out, and in a trance, he even saw Prince Diarmat holding his bleeding belly, still laughing hatefully!
What to do?
The so-called anti-Desmond Alliance, Count Tang is not afraid, if I can defeat you once, then of course I can defeat you a second time. But precious time, precious time is wasted meaninglessly!
Little Earl Tang couldn't imagine that Ireland alone, just Ireland, such a desolate and barren island, the struggle for power and profit among the nobles was already so fierce, bitter scheming, counter-scheming, and hiding from the world and the sea one by one, what would it be like if it was in Germanyland, the center of Europa, which had been in war for many years?
No wonder some people have always said that being an emperor is really the most tiring profession in the world.
But this also woke up Earl Xiao Tang, on scheming, on conspiracy, how could he be the opponent of these veterans who have been addicted to this all his life, his strength lies in development, construction, and operation, he only needs to accumulate a strong enough family business, and the rest only needs to be A past!
A past is enough!
Therefore, the only way to do this is to cut through the mess with a quick knife. When all crises have not yet erupted and are still just a seed, kill it in the bud!
And the center of all this conspiracy is Prince Djarmat, as long as Prince Djarmat dies, everything will be settled!
The decision has been made, then there is nothing to say, the little Earl Tang, you can say that he does not know right from wrong, you can say that he is indecisive, but he just has an advantage, once the decision is made, the nine cows can't be pulled back!
Therefore, at that time, Count Xiao Tang held the long sword that was carried on his waist tightly - this was the most perfect sword produced by the small blast furnace, sharpened like clay, which could be called an artifact - Originally, Count Xiao Tang thought that there would never be a place for this sword, but he did not expect that it would be used now!
"Haha...... Haha......"
Originally, looking at Count Xiao Tang, who was getting closer and closer with a gloomy face, Prince Djarmat was still laughing, he already knew that Count Xiao Tang understood his conspiracy, but he was not afraid, there are so many nobles and so many knights here, can you still kill me in front of them?
From the moment the assassin appeared, this gamble was already won by me!
So Prince Diarmatt laughed wantonly, laughed very happily, but he couldn't laugh at once.
"Lord Earl—!"
This was Wade's voice of concern.
"Don Chester, calm down, don't!"
It was the other three counts who were panicked, and frightened, uneasy, and panicked.
In addition to this, there are many actions and actions that the knights try to stop, but it is too late.
It's close at hand, and everyone is in the enemy country! What's more, it was a strong man like Count Xiao Tang, holding an extremely sharp sword to kill a person who had lost his mobility?
"Click-"
The moment the sword fell, and the human head flew up, the world was silent.
